I think BB only does them to try and rake in some cash. It just feels so much more better when showmances are organic and (ideally) messy; like Ziggy/Chanelle.

The showmances from C5 are legit awful :bawling:

Yeah true loads of them are encouraging it. I suppose it's a bit of gossip for them in a house where there is nothing to do all day. It was weird though, James hearing Ricci's conversation, getting out of bed, and telling Lauren about it... Desperate for it much?!

Me too, I HATE how they shove romances down our throats. And then when they're evicted, every single interview on BOTS etc. asks the same bloody question, and they get the same answer, "we're just really good friends"/"we'll have to see on the outside". Why do they think we care?!

It's awkward as hell to watch

Looks like Lauren ain't interested, stay on that path girl.

The whole thing is totally predictable

It is what they both do for a living

Their whole conversation was like a very boring motor whirring on and on and gave us nothing new whatsoever

Him kind of pretending to like her and her being not interested but kind of pretending to maybe consider it

Remember Sam and Ollie last january? It felt exactly the same.

Totally bland and lifeless.

If this is the 'storyline' they both have in mind - please can one of them leave ASAP as there are loads of actually interesting people in there who deserve our attention a billion times more

The last 10-15 mins of last nights highlights show was absolutely dreadful. This series is going to go downhill fast if they continue focusing on these two. NOBODY cares, Channel 5.

I missed last nights episode but when I watched it today I just skipped the Lauren/Ricci thing it's so boring

I don't care what they get up to cos there is enough happening in the rest of the house to command my attention. And even if it does happen I doubt they will get many column inches
